Chapter 349 – Love Entangled with Her Unconscious Husband Novel Free (Volume II)

They should just split up, but this won’t affect the fact that they are still my friends!” Ben explained.

“They don’t see it that way.” Chad could not help but smile. “Don’t talk about this in front of them in the future. If not, the next time would not just be a punishment in exile.”

Ben was speechless. He could not sleep that night. After a sleepless night, he decided to apologize to Averie. He did not want to go on that business trip, so he decided to bowed down.

He drove to Starry River Villa.

In the villa, the servants were caring for the children, washing them up, and preparing their breakfast. It was a busyse affair.

Ben entered the living area and asked Mrs. Cooper, “Is Averie not up yet? I’m looking for her?”

Mrs. Cooper replied, “Averie left. She went to Bridgedale.”

Ben was stunned.

Mrs. Cooper said, “Why are you looking for her? Is it important? Try her phone. Perhaps she hasn’t boarded the flight yet!”

Ben said, “Forget about it. Since she’s going abroad, I won’t bother her.” Mrs. Cooper got Ben to stay for breakfast. Ben took her up on her offer and directly headed to the dining hall.

“Mrs. Cooper, why is Averie going to Bridgedale?”

“I don’t know, but she said she’ll be back soon,” Mrs. Cooper said. Ben picked his phone up and sent Elyette a message. (Averie has gone to the airport. She’s leaving for Bridgedale.) Elyette just woke up when he saw the message. His heart started beating wildly. He was afraid that Averie was going to run away again! At the airport, Averie was in line, about to go through security. When she saw Elyette’s call, she hesitated for a while before picking up.

“Averie, what are you doing?” Elyette’s voice was hoarse and cold. Averie could hear that Elyette had just gotten up because his tone was rather emotional.

“I’m going to Bridgedale to tend to something.” Averie went past security and headed inside.” It’s early. Who told you I’m going abroad?” Elyette did not answer her question, but asked, “It’s almost the children’s birthday. Do you have to go to Bridgedale now? Is there something urgent?” If it was as usual, Averie might have said that he was being nosy. However, at that moment, she was strangely calm. She did not want to fight with him over such a small thing. Elyette was asking her all these questions out of concern.

“It’s nothing urgent,” Averie said calmly, “Elyette, these are my private affairs. I don’t need to tell you. I will be back before the children’s birthday.”

Elyette rubbed the middle of his brow. He calmed down. “As long as you’re fine.”

“Hmm, go back to bed. I’m about to board.” Averie lowered her gaze. She thought about how long has she not spoken to him properly in that way. Their go-to method was always using the harshest words on each other. “Okay.”

After the call, he flipped the covers and got off the bed. He strode into the washroom. He turned on the tap and splashed cold water on his face. He looked at himself in the mirror in a daze.

The water droplets flowed down his face, drip by drip!

Turns out, that when one cares for another person, they cannot hide it. When he called her just now, he never considered that they were still not on speaking terms. He also did not consider whether she would pick up his call or not. Neither did he think about what would happen to his dignity if she did not pick up his call. Fortunately, she did not reject his call or blame him for meddling in her affairs. After more than ten hours, the plane landed in Bridgedale.

When Averie came out of the airport, she initially decided to head straight to Adrian’s house, but she thought that it was still early. It would be rude to head over there. She might even disturb their rest. Thus, Averie returned home. She showered and changed into a clean set of clothes before orderinged takeout.

While waiting for takeout, she called Mike to tell him about her arrival. “Averie, after you left this morning, Ben came to look for you at home,” Mike said, “He came to apologize. He did not intend to drive a wedge between you two…” “I know he didn’t mean to do it. He was doing it for Elyette.” Averie rubbed her temples. Due to the time difference, she was quite tired.

“He said it was for your good too! Hahaha!” Mike could not help but laugh. “He said he has never seen a couple like you two, tormenting each other for seven years. I thought about it, and he seems to make sense.”

Averie pursed her lips. She did not know how to reply. “But looking at how you two can drive each other crazy and yet still cannot forget each other, perhaps you two are destined to be! If it were for other couples, I think they would have long given up.” “Stop mocking me.” Averie took a cup to get some water.

“By the way, tell Ben that I don’t blame him. He doesn’t need to apologize to me.” “Hahaha! He doesn’t want to apologize to you either. Elyette is angry at him, sending him to exile. He is coming to you for help due to desperation. He wants you to put in a good word fordz him.”

“Impossible,” Averie said and hung up. She did not want to interfere with their friendship! A moment later, the takeout arrived. Averie had breakfast and she felt better. At ten in the morning, she went to the garage to get her car and drove to the Whites. She thought about the time after she met Adrian.

Adrian must be delighted, right? Although his family might not welcome her that happily, they were all polite people. They would most probably not chase her away.

When she passed by a florist, Averie stopped her car by the side of the road. She picked a fresh bouquet of carnations. After paying, she entered her car with the bouquet in her hands.

She was once again on the road. She needed to go past two traffic lights and go forward for another two kilometers or so before she would reach the Whites.

She was humming a song. It was green all the way. The traffic was smooth all the way to the Whites.

She parked her car outside the Whites’ courtyard.

She got out of the car and saw that the gate was locked. She looked at the shut door of the mansion too. It seemed like no one was home. She furrowed her brows and fished her phone out. She found Nathan, Adrian’s father’s contact, and dialed him. She had thought of the worst-case scenario. Perhaps Nathan had blocked her number. However, the call connected.

“Mr. White. I’m by your house. I see that your doors are shut. Are you all not at home?” Averie inhaled nervously.

“Miss Tate! I’m sorry! We are out on holiday now. I’m afraid we can’t welcome you in!” Nathan could not hide the arrogance in his tone. “If there is nothing else, I’m going to hang up. By the way, my son is doing well. You don’t have to worry.”

“Hold up!” Averie said sternly, “Adrian has just finished his surgery. He needs to rest! How could you take him out on a holiday? Even if he wants to go, he can’t! Aren’t you afraid that something might happen to him on the way?” Nathan harrumphed coldly. “Miss Tate. I think I have paid you the surgery fees, right? I don’t need you to order me around. It’s rude of you!”

Then, he hung up.

Averie heard the disconnecting tone. She clenched her fingers. That old man has crossed the line! She has finally seen his true colors! He never cared if Adrian lived or died! However, she did not understand. If he did not care whether Adrian lived or died, why would he spend so much money to cure him?

Adrian’s condition was better now, but he was still treated kindly. What was Nathan trying toed do?
